You can connect ground-referenced or floating current sources to the NI 9227E. Connect the positive side of the current source to the AI+ terminal, and connect the negative side of the current source to the AI– terminal. If you make a ground-referenced connection between the current source and the NI 9227E, make sure the voltage on the AI+ and AI–...

The NI 9227E analog input channels are floating with respect to earth ground and each other. The incoming analog signal on each channel is conditioned, buffered, and then sampled by a 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC. Each channel provides an independent signal path and ADC, enabling you to sample all four channels simultaneously.

The small amount of variation in gain with respect to frequency is called the passband flatness. The digital filters of the NI 9227E adjust the frequency range of the passband to match the data rate. Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a given frequency depends on the data rate.
Alias-Free Bandwidth Any signal that appears in the alias-free bandwidth of the NI 9227E is not an aliased artifact of signals at a higher frequency. The alias-free bandwidth is defined by the ability of the filter to reject frequencies above the stopband frequency, and it is equal to the data rate minus the stopband frequency.

16.667 kS/s, and so on down to 1.613 kS/s, depending on the value of n. When using an external timebase with a frequency other than 12.8 MHz, the NI 9227E has a different set of data rates. The NI cRIO-9151 R Series Expansion chassis Note does not support sharing timebases between modules.
In sleep mode, the system consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about power consumption and thermal dissipation. NI 9227E Operating Instructions and Specifications 12 ni.com...
